In 2023, the number of motor coaches, buses, and trolley buses in Italy stood at approximately 101.24 thousand. Forecast data suggests a gradual increase in the fleet from 2024 through 2028, with annual increments of about 0.5 to 0.6 thousand, resulting in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 0.5% over this period.
Future trends to watch for include developments in sustainable public transport options such as electric and hybrid buses, which may impact fleet composition, as well as potential shifts in government transportation policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions. Additionally, changes in urban mobility patterns and advancements in autonomous vehicle technology could influence the long-term growth and evolution of this sector.
